Superintendent of Schools

superintendent VI SSA.OO.@'
The death of Mr.. Hess causes a vacancy
in the Superintendent of Free Schools,
and within thirty.days the President OF
the several Boards of Education will be
called together to fill said vacancy and
it will be well for those interested to
look around for suitable person for the
position. On the 18th of May next, a
County Superintendent will be chosen
by the people and if the appointment to
fill the unexpired term could be post
poned until after the election and then
the person elected appointed, it would,
perhaps, be better for the school inter-
ests, as he would become familiar with
the work by the beginning of the next
year.
The school law says "the Superin-
tendent must be skilled teacher" and
without prejudice to any one. Mr..
Emanuel Schaetfer of Halltown, has
been suggested as one eminently quail
fed for the position by his familiarity
with school matters and his long and
successful experience as teacher.
Others will doubtless be named and we
trust a good man will be found.

The Grocer Happy Individual.


What a pleasure It is to be grocer!
No hard work, large profits, no bad
bills, and short hours, make his life q
merry one. lie, OF all business men, has
the most time to devote TO his family.
Some merchants have to sell goods at
a low margin to successfully compete
with their rivals. Not so with the
grocer, Ms there Is but little competition
in that line. Where can you fnd one
who will cut OH prices aud endeavor TO
get another's trader This IL the reason
why all Of them look so cheerful, and
can afford to dress well. At the end Of
the month are his happiest moments,
for he knows that In the morning his
store will be crowded with customers
who are anxious TO settle their bills.
Other retailers have to wait for their
money.
Not so with the grocer, for every one

dispute their bill with him? Those
who DO not pay cash have pass-books,
and lady customer never forgets to
bring her pass.book when she visits the
store, consequently, at the end Of each
month the happy grocer has no trouble
whatever Ia checking up these pass
books, as they agree exactly with his
journal.
The laws Of the State protect him In

Therefore, Il Is no wonder that grocer

RENOVATING CARPETS.
How They Can Be Made Quite Fresh
Again at q Very Small Expense.


Again at Very Small Expense.
What to do with old carpets is a
question that is disturbing many
housewife, as it has every season since
'.good Queen Bess' brought in the Gus
tom of using them. All carpets gets
into condition when they are too good
to throw away and yet have lost their
beauty and are vexation to homes
where some regard must be had for
economy and still more for ''what the
neighbors may Think They may be
changed from side to side, or into other
rooms, but the better class of carpets,
the ight-colored velvets or Wiltons
that have been in use for only a few
years and which were shown with so
much pride, have become soiled or look
cold in this day of warm Indian reds
and yellow browns. The huge me-
dallions or flowers, as big as a wash
tub look still larger now that small de-
signs are in favor, but the wool is fluffy
and soft. and it is vexed query what
can be done. Such carpets can be made
quite new and fresh again at very
small expense by being ripped and
dyed India or madder red or any other
dark shade. Of course it must be in
one color, but dull art takes we'll in
carpets. Garnet, madder red, coffee
browns, Saxon blue, moss greens or
wine color, all look well and pretty.
Brussels carpets, if not too much shorn
of their wool, also can be dyed. If one

The Correct Time.

There are very few men who do not pride
themselves on always having the correct
time; and wonderful and delicate mechan-
sms are devised to enable them to do so.
But the more delicate chronometer is
made, the more subject it becomes to de-
rangement, and unless it be kept always
perfectly clean, it soon loses it's usefulness.
What wonder, then, that the human ma
chinese much more delicate and intricate
than any work of Man-should require to
be kept thoroughly cleansed. The liver is
the handspring of this complex structure,
and on the impurities left in the blood by a
disordered liver, depend most Of the ills
that flesh is heir to. Even consumption
(Which is lung -scrofula), is traceable to the
imperfect action of this organ. Kidney
diseases, skin diseases, sick headache, heart
disease, dropsy, and long catalogue Of
grave maladies have their origin in tor
pid, or sluggish liver. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, by establishing a
healthy, normal action Of the liver, acts as
cure and preventive of these diseases.

Naval Attack and Defense.

The nations which have been determin-
ed to maintain, at whatever cost, great ma
val establishments, have had 10 meet a
problem which their money could not
overcome. AS fast as they furnished their
ships with armament that seemed strong
enough to Withstand anything that might
come against it, somebody has produced a
gun that would send daylight through the
armament. The attack has seemed to
stimulate inventive ingenuity more than
the defonse.
According to tho English correspondent
ofihe american Manufacturer, Sheffield has
achieved triumph that changes all this.
In a recent experiment with compound
armour plates the srmor scored decisive
and remarkable victory. A 10.inch, IS.
ton gun, charged with 70 pounds Of pow.
der and carrying 3 chilled shot weighing
400 pounds, vas discharged at thirty feet.
The only effect was ''somo slight lamina'
ton Of the steel face" The prcjectilea
fell, broken in small fragments.
II this can be done in England, perhaps
1t can DO done in the United Ststes, where
we are just awakening to the need Of a
navy that will be able to hold ita own. II
therebe something better than steel plates,
that is the something we want.

Our uueq anled Fuel.

AZ We were saying, natural gas is the
beat fuel, ior 80 many reasons that they
can't MI be realized at once. Observe how
natures fuel is working now. From the
hot days OF last week the temperature fell,
until it reached the low register Of yestcr'
day. The searching dampness found itf
way everywhere, and apartments were
damp and dissgrecable. .a
Before the days Of natural gas the care
iul housewife followed up the spring
cleaning with general stutnng up Of fire
placee, and when chilly spell or damp
day came, it WAS thought too much trouble
to open fire plAcs and start again with
all the attendant dirt Of u coal fire.
What change has come over the spirit
Of our housekeeping! We don't SILVER
any more in the dampness Of May dsy.
We merely apply the match, turn on the
gas, and we don't care much whether
school keeps or not. a man may have a
fire in his iaYorito room without having
his wife refuse to speak to him until he
brings her diamonds Tor q peace offering.
Everything goes better, for everybody ia
comfortable, and comfort and temper are
closely related.
Then think how We get it on the gss
company. Iu these of months we use
what gas We please, and there Is no bill ior
it. 1t is some satisfaction to know that
there Is one corporation that We have
down and can hold down for Eve long
Months in each year.
